No action required; frequency to be decided by DM

Items that require an action state that they require it. This does not say that it does, so it doesn't.

However, you may not have that pole ready and in hand, and doing so would still require your object interaction as part of your action/movement.

But feel free to "bee" as much as you like - or as much as your DM deems reasonable during your 6 second turn.
